Join Our Team

Hanover Township Volunteer Fire Company has been providing fire service to the residents of Hanover Township since 1942. EMS service has been provided since 1969. Consider serving your family, friends, and neighbors by joining us. All required training and equipment is provided. We have a long history of family involvement, and family oriented events are hosted throughout the year. It’s not unusual to stop by the station on a weekend and find families socializing for the evening. If you are interested in finding out what this service entails, contact us at the station, or stop by during Monday night drill.

The Volunteer

Our pagers lay beside our bed, With the button on alert. As we lay down to go to sleep, We pray no one gets hurt. As we lay in blissful sleep, Our own shrill tones we hear, We quietly crawl from our warm beds, And glance at loved ones so near. We scamper in the dark to find, Our shirt, our socks, our shoes. And nervously await to hear, From dispatch, that dreaded news. So many things go through our minds Our families don’t understand. That need and that desire, To lend a helping hand. Sometimes it’s us that suffer though, When things get out of control. Our lives, our loves, our families, Are the ones that pay the toll. I know at times it seems unfair, To not go on that call. But, look around at what you have, Or someday lose it all. RLH

Unfortunately winter has made its first appearance today dropping almost 8 inches of snow. We politely ask that if you have a fire hydrant on your property you take a couple of minutes to clear a path around it. It will save us much needed time incase of a fire. Thank you in advance and stay home if possible, if you do go out stay safe! ... See MoreSee Less
